Frequently Asked Questions
What is WHOIS privacy?
WHOIS privacy (or domain privacy) is a service that replaces your personal contact information in WHOIS records with the registrar's or a privacy service's information. GDPR has made this the default for many registrars.
Why is some WHOIS data redacted?
Due to GDPR and other privacy regulations, many registrars now redact personal information from WHOIS records. You may see 'REDACTED FOR PRIVACY' instead of contact details.
How often is WHOIS data updated?
WHOIS data is typically updated within 24-48 hours of any changes. Expiration dates are accurate, but contact information may be cached by some WHOIS servers.
